Alice Roberts – Tamed: three species that changed our world
Join Alice Roberts as she delves into archaeology, history and genetics to reveal the amazing stories of three wild species that became our allies.
For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors depended on wild plants and animals for survival. They were hunter-gatherers, consummate foraging experts, taking the world as they found it. Then a revolution occurred: our ancestors began to tame other species. The human population boomed and civilisation began.
In her book, Tamed, Alice Roberts uncovers the amazing history of familiar species with incredible wild pasts. In this talk, she tells the story of dogs, cattle and horses. She reveals how these animals changed as they became our allies and part of our world – essential to the survival and success of our own species.
